Bass Classic starts with a boom!

The Toyota Texas Bass Classic has begun with hundreds of pounds of fish. Leaders Dave Wolak and Mike McClelland had a tremendous morning as their limit wieghed in at nearly 60 lbs. However, last years winning team captain Terry Scroggins is closing in quickly as the second half of Wolak's team has struggled this afternoon. Scoggins' team had pulled to within seven pounds of the first place.

More importantly, the sun has finally come out drying out the ground and warming up the afternoon. Last night's storms were nearly a repeat of last year's monsoon (or what seemed like it) whic literally brought a tornado across the lake in the middle of the night. Perhaps it is going to be a stable at the classic?!?

But the most popular part of the classic is definately the KMOO tent where visitors who find a "Cow-Duck" can win big. And for a $5 donation to Children's Miracle Network, visitors can get thier own photo with the tournament's biggest bass!

We'll be here until 5:30 p.m. tonight and then from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. tomorrow and from noon - 5 p.m on Sunday. Come see us!!
